A charming 15th century coaching inn, The Bay Horse in Hurworth has been beautifully refurbished bringing with it some wonderful modern décor whilst managing to retain it’s characteristic charm. Greeted upon entry with a roaring open fire and a friendly team behind the bar, you’ll feel welcomed immediately.

Menus change seasonally and are comprised mostly of classic dishes given a modern twist. With the kitchen continuously experimenting with new flavours & cooking methods, it is easy to see why it has been one of the regions most celebrated venues in the last decade.

This restaurant is truly a 'blink and you'll miss it' establishment, tucked away on the main street to the cathedral. The steep entrance leads down to a deceptively open space with floor to ceiling windows providing extensive views of the river and the restaurant's rear garden in which produce is grown for the dishes available. Some of the original 13th century stonework is still visible throughout the building.
There are multiple rooms and floors to provide options for outdoor dining, private dining and larger group bookings.
The food is designed to match the relaxed dining environment, with the main focus on the use of seasonal and local produce, with menus changing monthly to reflect the freshest produce available. A 2 and 3 course set menu is available on a lunchtime and presents the opportunity for extremely good value for money, along with an a la carte menu running all day. Perfect for special occasions as well as regular relaxed dining.

WELCOME TO RUNA FARM
Runa Farm, is an intensely rustic inspired hotel, country pub and wedding venue quite unlike any other, combining natural rural beauty with cool Balearic vibes to deliver something wholly unique, as its guests will discover…
In brief, it was our plan to create an individual and special destination for “boho, honest and earthy” experiences with the farm and its produce at the very heart.
The result is a loveable, laid-back and luxurious County Durham country retreat complete with standout spaces and suites, cool glamping and field-to-fork dining, inviting people to gather, feast, stay, and enjoy every element of its feelgood spirit and endless appeal.

    Very good restaurant, love coming here. Sad they did not have their signature flat iron steak - that was already the second time I could not get it. The rump steak I ordered medium rare was more on the medium to medium well side as well unfortunately, but still very tender. Burgers were very nice as well. Would still return, and will. Just hoping they can fix their flat iron shortage… and maybe offer a few more beers on draft.

    The food here was simply amazing. Having tried other similar restaurants, the quality of the food here was the best that we have had. The service was also fantastic and all of the servers we spoke to were excellent. A nice touch with the birthday cake at the end of the meal topped off a brilliant evening.

    We recently visited the cellar door for our anniversary and we couldn’t have been happier with the food and service we received. The food was delicious with great veggie and vegan options. All of the staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful. We even got a complimentary anniversary dessert plate which was a lovely touch. Thank you to all the staff at the cellar door for making our first anniversary extra special
